What what…!!

Last Sunday morning training session at the Hillcrest site. 20 min warm-up by Nathan. I got us to bang out 50 squats, 30 push-ups, 30 crunches, 15 knee downs, and 10 belly to butt turning drills right after. Then we drilled hip bump sweeps, kimuras, arm-bars, and then omaplata’s. A total of 10 each. For technique we reviewed a cross lapel control from closed guard which we’ve been working on for a few weeks, the defence, and then a counter to which it gets reversed, to transition into a wing choke or back take. 

I hurt my rib last week rolling with a few bigger boys. Yes bigger boy’s. No excuses, just the pressure and crushing power some of these guys have developed is a complement to our training regime. Big boy jiu-jitsu players… what what!!

#a3enforcers lol putting my little ass in place… body triangle crush. #Word 

We then rolled for 2×5 min rounds,  flow rolling in fact, didn’t look like it lol dafuck. Then finally we played king of the mat for 20 mins starting in closed guard. Guys looked burnt out lol.

 I swear i tell them to have fun… lol

looked like fights to the death lol.

Yes a little behind… working outa town weekly has been keeping me kinda busy. 

Pays the bills though…

Pays for GI’s to train…

Working for the money makes the wife happy. BJJ bum… not so much.

Happy wife, happy life.

Then I get to train #BJJ

Unless I get something in town full-time just as comparible, this shall have to do lol. Beggars can’t be choosers and I’m kinda like a specialist in my field.
Video below… 20 mins warm-up run by Nathan. Then I got us to do 50 squats, 25 push-ups, 25 crunches, then 25 knee-downs as fast as possible. Got everyone to rep arm-bars, hip-bump sweeps, kimuras, then omaplata’s. We then reviewed the cross the back lapel control from closed guard. Second, was a sweep from the same control, right into mount. Third, was a base ball bat choke,  if you missed the sweep. We then rolled for 5×5 min rounds.

#wow

Decent showing…

Mat cleanliness, and a minor warm-up with stretching before the guys/gals get in. We did a standard warm-up, with added pummeling, duck-unders, squats, push-ups, crunches, and knees downs. 

#needmore

Drilling was with the toreando pass, knee belly, to arm-bar, to kimura, and then the arm-bar maintaining the kimura grip. 2 mins of repetition of progressive movements only to add more. We then reviewed the closed guard lapel control with it crossed-over the back to a cross x-collar strangle/choke. Finally, we did 4-3min rounds, 60s breaks of fairly hard rolling. 

Been trying to amp things up… I want to compete this winter.

Warm-up, stretching with the wife and baby hanging out. That fun… 🙂

Decent class with a nice warm-up from Nathan. Then the 25 push-ups, 50 squats, and then 25 knee-downs from me.

Interesting split this particular day lol… but we always cater to our crowd. Got a few of the guys to drill a pass with chaining positions and submissions we’ve been working on, while Nathan showed the newbies some basics. 

#newbs

I remember when I was a white belt… Kid Lightning and our head Coach choking and triangling the crap outa me. 

                  #ibuprofen #ohboy #didigetdecentattriangledefense?

We reviewed the paper cutter choke/strangle again since this was a different set of guys. Then we finished with 20 mins of king of the mat where you start in someones closed guard. Winner stays in OTM on his back for the first 10, then it was inside someone’s guard for the next 10 for the winner.

#heavyweights

Irony was that the class was full of the heavy weights lol. 15 mins hard warm-up, 45 mins of with the knee slice pass and chained submission drilling. 15 mins review of 2 paper cutter variations, first from the north south, then second from knee-on-belly. We then finished with 3 x 5 min rounds of rolling, think they were fairly tough rounds lol.

Either way it was a productive class.

Ossss
